INSANELY Amazing Finds! Discovering Agatized Wood, Agates, and CRYSTALS in the Mountains!
In this one, we stumble upon an amazing site, rich with petrified/agatized wood and agates! We had no intention of rockhounding, but ended up finding some INCREDIBLY nice specimens! I hope you enjoy this beautiful scenic adventure ripe with wonderful gems, and I will have another video out very soon!
Please leave me some suggestions for what you would like to see me make with our treasures!

I liked the way you picked up the trash. I have noticed the rock hunters do a good part to keep the river and stream edges clean. Everyone should be as diligent in keeping nature as nature and not a garbage dump. Bravo to you and I like your show.
A owl or a bumble bee, I would buy in a heart beat, I love rocks, I go and hunt for them all the time, but my hip is broken and I'm waiting at home for surgery, so I thank you, for taking me outside, thru your videos
Beauty of nature is infinite.
I'M DYING! SO! MANY! BEAUTIFUL! ROCKS!!!!!

I enjoy your talent. Doesn’t matter what you make I know it will be awesome
My mind is blown! What fantastic finds.
Love the idea of making a knife blade out of the petrified you found
Wow that last one before the slide show was so gobsmackingly beautiful 🤩 it could be in a show!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I don't think I would be able to do anything to those rocks except stare at their beauty . Theo I think you have one serious knack for finding some seriously awesome rocks Wow.. The areas you traveled through were stunning :) Now excuse me while I pick up my jaw off the desk :)

This is one of my favorite posts by you. I think I recognize the creek and my family is going there this week. I'll be keeping my (untrained, new at this) eyes open wide!!!
Very good my friend
Very good spetacle agate rock quarz cristall very nice uaoooo bay bay
Reminds me of some magical creeks nearby, what an amazing find. Thanks for resisting any urge to disturb or dig in the gravels, as much as they mean to us - they're even more valuable to the fish who hide their eggs within.
Mind blown right now 🤯🤯🤯
Wow just wow absolutely beautiful specimens!! 😯🙌
A friend of my stepson gave me a nice piece of petrified wood and cut and made some crosses . I notched the pieces.
You 2 always find the best things and the music you use is so soothing 😍
Holy cow, spectacular finds!!!
Rocks with the botryoidal bubbles are my favorite.

So cool. When you showed that quartz pocket I literally laughed hard out loud with joy for you. Just spectacular. Funny too because they I shared this with my niece on fb before I even went any further. She looks vest near you and her and her son love rocks.
Yep, definitely worth a like.

Wooooowww.. yes make the knife also I think you should turn it into an owl.
So much fun. Loved the quartz and agates. Awesome finds my friend. I was goi g to send you some paua/abolone shells but the ones I have are very brittle. I will get some more when the water warms up a bit, sorry for the delay.

Hey Theo! Have you ever tried to make the tops of a cane or longer walking sticks cared out of wood and petrified wood? I bet you would be able to make some money making them. There are so many people that take long walking sticks with them hiking just to help your balance and canes like they used to make back in the day, kind of like the jurassic park movie, where the old man walks around with his carved out amber cane. They may not need to carry a cane but there are collectors that would love one or the other.
Really enjoy your enthusiasm and artistry! Keep on rockin’! 👍🏼
Love your art! Love your enthusiasm! Need to hound!!!
黑碧璽都找到!😲😲😲
Up the creek, find the fault line, and you should find some massive material.
Some of the most entertaining content you've produced yet, in my opinion. You crushed it, too! (killer finds) I can't remember the last time I was as excited as you with my bounty but those were mighty impressive.

Theo Kellison , I love my new rocks from you! SO great to see the baculites, gryphea and inoceramus-none of which I had, and now I have a better feel for shapes, host rock, etc. My stepdaughter and boyfriend happened to come at the same time I opened your package, and the boyfriend was completely intrigued-now my stepdaughter doesn’t think my rockhounding is quite so weird, ^__* ! I am definitely going to get a rotary tool soon, too, and am already hankering for a MUCH bigger tumbler, although my first batches of p wood and chalcedony are still in process. Wow, the shine on that mussel shell... many, many thanks.

Just love watching you find your treasures!! Nothing like the thrill of the find! I do have a question... how do you get the green algae off? My biggest frustration is how to clean my treasures once they are home Have tried bleach, muriatic acid, lime away, and numerous other stuff.. can you give some suggestions or even better a video of basic cleaning & prepping rocks!!! That would be awesome! Keep on rockin!!!
Really nice work, Theo.
Hi Alexis!!!!!!
I've just started watching your videos about a week or so ago and I really have enjoyed all the ones I've watched so far. I can't believe how many beautiful rocks, agates, and petrified wood you find all the time. I've been having real trouble finding anything in my area. I've been trying to find someone to help me with acquiring some either by helping me with finding the right area's to go to near me or maybe shipping me a few and I'll pay for their time and the cost of shipping.
You popped up in my feed....new sub. Love what you do , cant wait to see more.
Thanks for the info. I have plenty of junk stones to work with lol.
That’s what she said!!!!
